	HRC \| Transitioning Process
		Transition is done with the help of medical professionals, in accordance with recognized standards of care that have been in use since the 1960s.
		Transitioning could expose the most intimate aspects of your life to scrutiny from strangers.
		Ideally, it would be preferable to transition in the least stressful manner possible, so if other events in your life are a source of extreme stress, you may wish to alter your transition timing.

	Transitioning (transgender) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transitioning is the process of ceasing to live in one gender role and starting to live in another, undertaken by transgender and transsexual people.
		Transitioning usually happens before any sex reassignment surgery, and in some cases even before any hormone replacement therapy.
		Transitioning can involve name changes, wearing clothing seen as gender appropriate or the use of make-up, and generally coming out of the Closet.

	Transsexual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some see transgender as subsuming and erasing their identity, rejecting the term for themselves because to them it implies a breaking down of gender roles, when in fact they see themselves as fitting a gender role -- just not the one they were assigned at birth.
		Many transsexual (and also many other transgendered) people have assumed that there is a physical cause of their transsexualism, because they claim to have had the feeling of being a girl or a boy for as long as they can remember.
		Transgender and transsexual activists, but also many caretakers, however, point out that these problems are usually not related to the gender identity issue as such, but to problems that arise from dealing with those issues and social problems related to them.

	Overview: Terminology and Scope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Generally speaking, a transgender person manifests a sense of self, the physical characteristics and/or personal expression commonly associated with a sex other than the one he or she was assigned at birth.
		A transitioning transgender person is one who is modifying his or her physical characteristics and manner of expression to -- in effect -- satisfy the standards for membership in another gender.
		Transitioning employees, as they move outside the legal standards for membership in one gender and begin to satisfy the legal standards for membership in another, often cannot avoid challenging community standards about what is gender-appropriate self-identification, appearance or expression.

	Workplace
		Transition is the term used to identify the period of time required by the transgender person to change over from their birth gender to their preferred gender.
		Transgender people must be assessed on their merits against the specific criteria for the particular job in the same way as all other applicants.
		Someone who is a transgender person has the legal right to be considered for a job that is targeted towards only one gender, if they have an official birth certificate or recognition certificate issued in that gender (this could be a certificate in their birth gender, or one in their preferred gender).

	IJ TRANSGENDER - Transgender Identity Affirmation and Mental Health
		In the process of transitioning, transgender persons typically sift through their friendship network, largely avoiding those individuals anticipated to be critical toward their newly celebrated core gender.
		Transgender identity support (one dimension of identity affirmation) in the context of two types of social relationships (family member and friend/acquaintance) was significantly associated with depressive symptoms.
		The incorporation of a transgender identity in social roles and relationships, as theorized, appears to be one explanation for mental health functioning in this population.

	Reading list for Southern California transgender counseling for gender identity issues, disorders, and transvestite ...
		Transgender individuals frequently report a lack of trust in clinicians, which is not surprising if mental health professionals have not themselves searched their countertransferential inventories regarding gender.
		Particularly for MTF transsexuals, having delayed the transitioning process for several decades may be less related to their desire to wait and more tied to their lifelong attempts at fulfilling societal expectancies of gender-congruency.
		A fundamental concern in providing therapy to transitioning individuals involves the therapist's conception of gender, including fantasies of his or her own possible gender change as well as the change of the client.

	Sex identity by Lisa M. Hartley
		For most transgendered persons, the awareness of the incongruity of their sex identity begins in early childhood as a preconscious awareness, which is usually not fully understood or articulated by the child.
		Transgendered persons, like everyone else, have learned that there is retribution for openly embracing and expressing their true sex identity, which is at odds with the initial designation made by the culture.
		Unfortunately, the transgendered person’s joy-filled proclamation in resolving his or her true sex identity struggle, is all to often met by a world that most likely will doubt it, and will probably label the transgendered person as psychiatrically disturbed.

		Moreover, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the therapy is successful, and the person goes on to live a well-adjusted life in the reassigned gender.
		The degree of success, however, can be influenced by (1) whether or not the person is able to maintain a stable job and income during transition, and (2) whether or not a supportive work environment exists.
